| I should start with speakers. This I know. I’d like to establish a new system. Hello @toontrader , So many ideas and options! I am not into BBC or horns or panels, but will nonetheless add my thoughts. I have a big room similar to yours, with high and vaulted ceilings. After several old pairs, I found the Revel Studio an... | |
| An IEC with grip +1 @bugredmachine those inserts are a no brainer to have arround. I got a big bag on Amazon for cheap. If the help great, if not don’t use them. | |
| Is the problem end of life or the new processor? I would agree @jeffbij , but these amps are beasts. Shipping them is a pain. Hard to find repair on this stuff, for me anyway. My Classe went to NY, and when it broke twice I was done. It was an SSP 800 however, and I am sure way less reli... | |
| Is the problem end of life or the new processor? Hello @mjm1951 Based on my history of older Classe components needing repair, I would buy new better amps. Carefully chosen, they will sound better. Looks like you keep things a while, which is great. Buy new amps and keep them forever! What... | |
| Power supply for ethernet switch? I just noticed Network Acoustics is now shipping their Tempus switch with an upgraded power supply. | |
| Hegel hum? I would think and hope no hum is normal and desired. | |
| what is more popular silver or black face plates I like the look of black so much I wrapped my silver Tambaqui DAC in black vinyl! | |
| Subs? +1 on two subs, so size might be predicated on space available and cost. That being said, ideally I would take two 12" subs over two 10" subs. I am a REL fan, based on experience, sound and reliability. There are many reports here of JL reliab... | |
| Streamer vs Directstream Memory Player Hello @gnaudio , First, I completely agree that the Streamer is very essential and will can vastly improve the sound of digital, just as a quality DAC. As an example, the wonderful Mola Mola Tambaqui DAC, while housing a decent renderer, is no m... | |
| Wattgate IEC does not fit tight. Not sure about the Wattgates, but these inexpensive 'iec inlet tighteners work for a variety of PC / components and are easy to try: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0771T7PC9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title | |
| Using both balanced and single ended outputs at the same time? Well you always have to adjust the sub (s) volume. This is not a negative nor an issue. | |
| Using both balanced and single ended outputs at the same time? No doubt @erik_squires , I was surprised to learn Audionet strongly recommended single ended connections. I too like the lock of the balanced cables. I do bump my K-S Realization cables loose sometimes, and have to keep and eye on that. But th... | |
| Using both balanced and single ended outputs at the same time? +1 @elliottbnewcombjr , I will add that my with my Audionet equipment, they strongly recommend single ended (rca) cables. My understanding is that this avoids op transformers to convert the balanced cables back to single ended, which can only deg... | |
| Using both balanced and single ended outputs at the same time? Hello @boonaroo , I believe that is fine to do. it is similar to a RCA output labeled subwoofer out, and is full range. | |
| Power supply for ethernet switch? Guy asking about exact same items other guy previously bought. Seems sort of appropriate to reply. Guy lending experience and trying to be helpful. No need for new guy to be so cynical. :) |
